Some generous person left a
family of cats near the Chieftain
which furnish enough doleful
music for an Oriental funeral
They seem to be the strong

an encore they stay on the stage
which is located under the floor
repeatedly they rended the same
piece of music, each time louder
and louder. Owner may have
same by paying for lost patience
and cuss thoughts caused by
their preserce.

Letter From Clarence Crowly
France, Aug 11 '18
Dear Sir:
A few lines to let you know
I am 0. K. But am not getting
the home paper very often be-
cause the name is written with
a lead pencil.
We are having a little rain
and the nights are getting cool
but so far we have not suffered
from either. So far I have not
seen but one Calumet man but I
hear that quite a few are over
here.
Can say I am proud of .w hat the
paper arid the people are doing
to help win the war. We fire
doing whst we can o"er here
■and will stay till the end.
With best wishes

Save Fruit Pits
The government has made an
urgent call for the seeds and pits
of various fruits and shells of
nuts to make charcoal to use in
gas masks for our soldiers.
According to official reports
the demand far exceeds the sup
ply. Seven pounds of seeds wi
make charcoal sufficient to sun-
ply a soldier's gas mask for 24
hours. Everyone is urged to
collect and save all the fruit pits
possible.
There has been collected by
the good people in and arounr
Calumet 650 pounds of peach
seeds which are to be shipped
out >.t once. The seed we e col
lected at Mench's store ami pro
vision is made for all that will be
brought in at the place.
If every place had done as well
as Caltmet according to size the
demand would be suppled. Our
people will always be found do
ing their whole duty in every
way to help win the war.

Gas masks are indespensable articles near the front. This Y. M. C. A.
canteen manager has been forced to don his "muzzle," but he is still holding
his position behind the counter. He was later wounded while on duty.
Y. M. C. A. men at the front not only see that the boys are furnished
refreshments, but they often help In the care of the wounded. Several Red
Triangle workers have been wounded by shell and gas, while a number have
lost their lives In this service. The sign Just over the "Y" man's shoulder
reads: "Our Slogan—Best for the Man In the Mud."
